I’m in and ready to plan!Sound familiar?
You’re always last minute with your plans and know that the end of the year will be here before you know it.
Get ready to take action and plan your most successful sales period, so you feel organised and in control.

- Worried about the negative news cycle affecting customer’s spending habits.
- Concerned that you don’t have the confidence to keep showing up to promote your products for the three months of the festive season.
- You’ve left it too late to create new products and unsure what to market to your customers.
- Worried about the increase in extra sales and how you will physically manage this.
- Unsure about Black Friday. You know it’s a huge marketing event but you don’t know if you have the margins and if it fits with your brand values.
- There always seems more to do and you’ve not been able to do much over the summer holidays.
You’re in the right place!
